9263 WaistcoatWEB EXCLUSIVE

We are regularly astounded by the Sirdar designers, who are constantly playing with traditional basics to enormously modern effect. Here is a fantastic vest with the simplest of st st shawl collars, looking entirely fresh and of-the-moment. The shoulders are very sloped, the armholes barely finished (there's no curve at all there), and waist shaping. Aside from a little 1 x 1 ribbing at hem and fronts, that's all there is to it. And yet it makes terrific use of a long-repeat variegated yarn, and looks as fantastic on its own as it would under a jacket.
